continue to give rewards to their supporters among the labor unions of the various political organizations that are sympathetic to the democratic party because the u.s. is able to keep raising its debt ceiling because people investors around the world have confidence in the united states they believe that the u.s. government will honor its outstanding obligations and so as long as people have faith in the investors have faith in the u.s. government in its credit worthiness then the u.s. could keep raising its debt ceiling the problem right now is that the debt is so high that that in itself is starting to become a negative factor that could lead to a credit rating downgrade of the united states government. where u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton rushed to reassure asian leaders this week that

the debt debate would be settled on time beijing as america's biggest creditor seems to be his impatience with washington's financial mess. and the shift says that china could even dump the dollar as its main currency. we can't afford bad relations with china see beijing holds the cards you know we're dancing to the tune that they play and the real problem for china is that there's no way that america can pay back the money that the chinese are very lonely it's politically just not going to happen especially when interest rates rise i'm surprised they can be chinese so long to figure out that they've been throwing a lot of good money after bad i don't think we're going to default i think we're going to inflate which is just as bad but you know we're going to raise the debt ceiling the problem is the debt not the ceiling this sooner the chinese start stop enabling this kone economy that we have the sooner we as americans can begin to repair the damage and what's going to happen is where the dollar collapses

americans are going to see a big reduction in our standards of living. right now we take a closer look at how this struck me cardinals will be next to for europe spaniards to something takes action grandstand suborning its economy and supper to. night on these economic well separatist movements of any moment talking fears of a chain reaction across the whole of europe. also refuses to show the food sponsibility for the polis presidential plane crash in western russia saying russian traffic controllers also contributed to the aviation disaster a crash that killed the late president kaczynski dozens upon transit in the spring selling season axiom russia scheme reports many in part and unhappy that the national tragedy has become a political weapon. another day another blame game poland's very own probe into last year's presidential plane crash and smolensk all but confirmed the findings of

russia's investigation that the crew was almost solely responsible for the tragedy of this point there is an obstacle a treat at the aircraft collides with a fragment of a left wing used detached aircraft against their education let me emphasize it's not that the tree was too high the aircraft had simply been i say location where it shouldn't have been it seems the very things that got in the way of the plane are now getting in the way of warsaw taking full responsibility and trees are not the only thing rooted in poland failing to see eye to eye with moscow but. here's where the approach controller two thousand metres away should have told the committee to stop descending the horizon command should have been issued exactly at least moments the shows that the landing zone controller was performing his duty in an incorrect way on. such statements come as little surprise to experts with some of them saying acceptance of the responsibility would be impossible for the polish

society they've been given the truth and the truth is unbearable they can't take it and i don't think that the polish investigators think they can pin the blame on anybody else but i do think that they are looking to pin some of the blame on somebody else aviation experts echoed this opinion calling the swipes against the russian side and substantial sum of claims concerning the airport all controllers they have nothing to do with the crash i've been a pilot for over thirty years and i know a simple rule if you don't see the runway or it's like a decision height you have no other choice than to raise the landing gear and go to your reserve airport the initial russian investigation was greeted by a novel launch of criticism from some movements in poland they expressed doubts about. the reliability of the report often based on anti russian sentiment and some experts say it is not pure emotion driving this but well thought tactics and people

. i think we're now witnessing simply school games to shift the blame from the polish sign of i was an expert in this commission and i was surprised to learn to the crew was chosen immediately before the flight such a poor preparation for such a high profile flight publication of this report had been delayed for several months and was very much anticipated in poland it was meant to put a play through all speculation regarding the plane crash but instead it once again be used as a political tool experts say the timing of the publication is not consider this to be exploited also in the political electoral campaign because this should be known that in two months after being. parliamentary elections this report and all that issue. will be. even easier as it in the electoral campaign and the twin brother of the late president kaczynski was quick to prove his suggestion with

a sharp round about the report. the prime minister to say has no courage to take up the responsibility for the plane crash to go and has shuffled it off under his staff nevertheless he's responsible for all the games he played with the russians he's responsible but the poles were not conducting or even participating in the investigation he's responsible for not defending polish interests and at the international fora will get to the bottom of this case as this is what we owe to those who died while the police decide who is still deciding whether to admit the plane full responsibility which comes with a record experts are speculating whether this is a fair and objective investigation or an attempt to please all the players in the long lasting blame game. r.t. reporting from warsaw in poland. israel has become the latest middle east country to seen nationwide anti-government protests tens of thousands of demonstrators taking to the streets in major cities testa say they'll demand that prime minister

netanyahu steps down and takes reforms party's policy areas follow the developments . i just want to place. these really i'm fifty thousand people here with the most popular chanting we demand for social justice a whole new way of speakers have been taking to the stage they've been calling on unity and message coming across very strongly is one by one people here can bring change a lot of criticism being leveled at the israeli prime minister bibi netanyahu in fact if you deny his name is mentioned he is why are you here tonight i'm here because it's just becoming impossible to live in this country anymore we work we give and we give and we keep on giving and there's no end to this this is the first chance this is the only one has to change just because you have any thoughts on what you say people have been inspired by the demonstrations taking place there. what it's all signed saying. gosselin is on earth why do you want him to go home.

only because of the police and how much of these demonstrations green inspired by the protests we saw taking place in the arab world well i think there's a lot of influence of what happened in the ground and now syria and lebanon i mean what you see in libya also there's a lot of influence of voting and that's when people understand that you have the power that they can take him away denied but instead they don't need anymore their government to go don't what to do they can start throwing the government what they want. to do you know they can they can start deciding for themselves to take power back to what they said is the spirit of revolution here a number of israeli populists on singers have also been taking to. stage i am like some of them but. i'm translating then you know you.

have time. for us there reporting that well coming up in a few minutes on the program outsourcing the war there because of wars in iraq and afghanistan are lost in the hands of lesson is seen by many as trigger you know if you don't know. the transit triple disaster continues to claim lives months after a devastating earthquake and tsunami triggered the scene of the disaster a different way it's not true depression suicide. credit rating agency moody's has put spain on review for a possible downgrade it's threatening to take the country's boring status down a notch as it struggles with recession and mass unemployment but there is growing public anger at spain's future with an interesting decision one way by brussels and i.m.f. you know this reports from madrid. the cash in spain is going mainly down the drain at least that's the opinion of dollars of people who have rallied across the country because the from the government it's controlled by the european bank and

man. they don't care about the people. so the people decided it's time to voice their concerns loud and clear before the lose more than just the shirt off their back spain has one of the highest unemployment rates in the eurozone so while the european leaders have been occasionally meeting in comfortable quarters to talk about the future of the hero and the european union itself people in the country have been demonstrating on an almost weekly basis demanding the government shape up stop talking and do something about the situation this is not just about higher wages and better pension plans with more than forty percent of young people in spain unemployed simply getting a job is a priority for those gathered in the great central square. the big part of the responsibilities from the governor. because the government first of all. not create the conditions at the beginning of the crisis to fight against the crisis it

reacts very late. and all the other hand ones take over but. what. the government it's not doing their job properly because nobody in the people to wake up otherwise we'll just become slaves to the system who want to be treated as humans and they believe they can make a difference. the government has to change things because they don't have a choice but. with greece in shambles and neighboring portugal trashed by the rating agencies spain is facing not just a financial but a deepening social crisis members of the so-called indignant marches say they want their. dignity preserved but whether their calls will be heard is another issue in . madrid. france has also been warned by the international fund that it needs

more cuts to avoid becoming the next fickle debt crisis time effort says the country's credit rating risk. taker nomics or know these problems long ago the problem here's a look these aren't things that have just happened suddenly i mean the french budget deficit has been in a deficit but french budget since one thousand nine hundred seventy four this is typical of contagion we've been talking about it for weeks we have you know when you get some degree of illness and it goes through the body ultimately you have to decide when to amputate it and the truth is we should have amputated greece from the euro zone long ago we've got the situation at the moment where provincial libraries in northern germany are being closed because the money isn't there because it's being used to fund people in the mediterranean i think german voters are going to get very angry about it but very very soon and i actually think the political will is not there amongst the people to endlessly keep bailing out their

saw their neighbors. the thought of the russian u.s. reset it's so cold here that it it was a comment from russia's envoy to nato following this week's talks with senators in washington. because his visit was part of fresh efforts to revive talks a common with lent system in europe this. country and the russians put it into a political weapon america was the creation of its own shield. a competitor wanted burn at a point in every direction but the intended target he added that time was running out to reverse the negative attitudes before the us presidential election. told r.t. russia is the turnitin it's personal space and interest protected. there are questions that remain unanswered if a message of threats against europe come from the south why is the us placing part of its military infrastructure in the north close to russia's borders this is the

question that we can't get an answer to when we ask for legal guarantees that the system is not aimed at russia we're told there's a big conflict between republicans and democrats in congress and they start to explain that conflict but we're not interested in that what's important for us is that the u.s. is behind this project and they should provide security for all partners otherwise it's like when you come home and discover somebody else's bodyguard sitting in your bedroom he's been sent to provide your security who's going to like that so if all our suggestions are rejected and it's understood that iran is just a reason to have the planet while russia's nuclear potential is the real target then russia will come up with its own military response which nobody is going to like it. belgium is a hotbed of international politics and european representation however this prosperous country seems to be failing to resolve its own internal differences with . the countries of south power squabbles and sending

a warning signal to other nations. so wait till they're divorced before planning their next marriage but not one load near the southern region of belgium the country's been with delta fictive government for record fourteen months free speech in the cells and flemish speaking flanders in the north disagree on pretty much everything many analysts think but most likely outcome will see the country break into as soon as it splits with flawed business complete look to hook up with france for richer or poorer but mainly for. going it alone when your small region is clearly not appealing and while they say political clout is important the main appeal is money. the loonie is part of france in everything but name it we have the same language we watch french t.v. no belgian but above all our economy is controlled by french firms with polls suggest that hall for sixty percent of the french want to become one presidential

front runner marine le pen last week said she would wear the southern half of belgium with france president sarkozy's ruling party and the opposition are already in talks to tie the knot so we have contacts with other parties with you n.p. then we have contacted the socialist it has been confirmed to us that's in case belgium would speed up then one would be welcome in france. the biggest party in the northern half wants a split two experts say bill james already divided people don't know any more about the other half of the country the flemish people don't know who are the popular singers or writers in the french speaking part and vice versa king albert bill james national day last week was its last he added the crosses threatens not just every building but european integration itself. and care with the e.u. is scared that the divorce of belgium was woke up the rest of europe catalonia

leaving to be scarred point leaving a great and we're really seeing separatist marches and mixed community towns here turned violent with guns going to take just one group clash with process to become . that conflict mass killing not suffered in europe since world war two neighbors turned on each other as you could slow over your broke up and the determination of regional identity is not to be underestimated frige unionists say they have the flag and everything else worked out to become france's twenty eight region all that's left are the details the new bush will see brussels as the u.s. withdraws its troops from iraq and afghanistan only highly vast number of private military contractors critics of a so-called hired guns series at erica held accountable for what it can rights abuses and seventy deaths conflicts when countries. courts the u.s.

is in no rush to regulate private military muscle. this iraqi man son nine year old allie khilnani was shot dead by private american war contractors four years ago as a crane fell to the ground between life on the same day dozens of other innocent iraqis were shot by trigger happy us professional killers they shot like they were trying to kill everyone they can see no one of blackwater the firm for whom the hired guns work has been punished by the massacre to other private american security companies were contracted to carry out interrogations at the notorious abu ghraib prison in iraq a name synonymous now with her rethink human rights violations including torture rape and murder the us supreme court recently threw out a lawsuit alleging abuse of prisoners by the contractors. in afghanistan it's reported that human rights violations and it was killing circumvented by

security firms on a regular basis can expand set to undermine call the horses counterinsurgency efforts they'll start firing at anything that moves in general kill innocent afghans kill destroy property we're getting fairly consistent complaints about them everybody knows somebody who's been shot by the contract. the lack of accountability has forced the united nations working group on mercenaries to push for specific international measures to regulate their activities especially now as u.s. military forces withdraw from iraq and afghanistan the number of contractors is set to grow dramatically and with. its. many. functions to these. companies they are not related in the end not control and this is what we're extremely concerned that washington is reluctant to lead an

international body regulate their pivot saying it will find ways to hold contractors accountable but so far the u.s. justice system has largely failed to do so we're seeing around the world cases of kidnapping rape and murder. and we see very very only very rare cases in which there's actually a criminal investigation or prosecution of sing out of. what experts say further privatization of war is convenient for the american government because among other reasons it doesn't have to justify the deaths of troops at home the president whoever the president may be can get us involved in conflicts only using uniformed forces to do the official fighting and then falcons and thousands of contractors to do the unofficial fighting that's under the radar screen that isn't covered by the media now here is a quote we cannot win

a fight for hearts and minds when we outsource critical missions took on accountable contractors and of course that's what senator obama said before he became president but apparently as a president now he thinks differently with a contract for his role in america's wars down to an increase and with the victims of their crime still begging for justice i'm going to check our reporting from washington our team. but widespread use of unaccountable contractors is not a damaging for america's reputation but also dangerous for its national security. profile social justice new foundation these folks are not the people that you see held up as paragons of american patriotism they're not uniformed troops since they're not as accountable as u.s. forces to the u.s. government and the american people they're able to get away with a lot more of the president and want to use any time any foreign force goes in and kills locals either through mistake or through over aggression or things like that

it absolutely damages us security and what the united states is trying to achieve in any of these countries should enraged both the people in the countries where apple's and it should enraged here in the united states is tax dollars are paid for it in whose name those actions being taken. ten people are believed to have drowned after a private charter boat collided with. think in the musky river close to the city center eight bodies have been recovered witnesses say the both was rocking from side to side something out of control limits the barge seventeen women on board with the. russian passengers six people were rescued from the river survivor swim into the shallow local press boat was hired by the international men's magazine reporting it comes just weeks after a cruise ship sank in central russia killing twenty two people. in the earthquake devastated japan of the march the country's death toll is still

rising suicide rates have increased since the radiation crisis pulled it on a massive tsunami but the government there with oppression and having could emerge nazis sean thomas has been to japan why so many people there are taking them. a triple disaster on a scale the world has never known causing damage and destruction and uncertainty forcing tens of thousands of japanese refugees to leave their lives behind and seek shelter anywhere they can some people do. evacuate but the problem is the minority. be they have been accused by their neighbor. or you know of course my office. causing. found. people. not. primarily

a move towards self-preservation this idea of desertion is defined by many as characteristically japanese it has or it is those who have evacuated the dishonorable title of traitor. of course it's hard to hear that we have family members we think about our health but in other words we ran away we escaped because we're scared of radiation but there is no example in the world of something similar and the consequences are there i'm going. well those who have moved to shelters here in tokyo are facing it guilt and the pressure to move back home there are others who have lost everything cannot handle the overwhelming change and they are facing even darker demons japan already has one of the highest suicide rates in the world and following the disaster in march the government has issued a warning about a possible nationwide epidemic of depression here. organic farmers committed suicide because you know people. use everything

they have good soil for all after many hours of hard work and it's just contaminated one night or so some. of it and some side i'm very sorry to hear the news and many other farmers are also very much depressed a recent national survey in japan performed by dr roshini and his team shows that suicide rates in japan have been found increased in the months since the disaster compared to the same timeframe in the previous two years but the demographics are not what you might expect. a rate increase. in the. centers either thirty eight percent but if you're years because some eyebrows struggling to make you cross or. if they have not had to mix inside this disaster has certainly taken its toll on japan's economy and such constant

reminders of an intense topic can harm the collective psyche of the people who live here as well because of the. tsunami disaster last year disaster many people actually lost their jobs or working on the show was crushed. so. yeah they have so many good reason through on its side. causing japan's death toll to keep rising even though the initial disaster has subsided months before in japan sean thomas forty. i think back in the round of the headlights on a couple of minutes here now to stay with us. if
